NO ONE HAS EVER ESCAPED FROM THE INSTITUTE.

Luke Ellis, a super-smart twelve-year-old with an exceptional gift, is the latest in a long line of kids abducted and taken to a secret government facility, hidden deep in the forest in Maine.

Here, kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - like Luke's new friends Kalisha, Nick and Iris, are subjected to a series of experiments.

There seems to be no hope of escape. Until Luke teams up with an even younger boy whose powers of telepathy are off the scale.

Meanwhile, far away in a small town in South Carolina, former cop Tim Jamieson, looking for the quiet life, has taken a job working for the local sheriff. He doesn't know he's about to take on the biggest case of his career . . .

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY OUT.

'An epic tale of childhood betrayal and hope regained... an immersive tale full of suspense and thrills that will keep readers up late at night racing towards a heartbreaking yet glorious finale... a dazzling achievement' - Daily Express

Rezensionen
"A big shank of a book that reminded me instantly of many of the reasons I loved (love?) [King]. His characters are the kind of people who hear the trains in the night. The music is always good. He swings low to the ground. He gets closer to the realities and attitudes of working-class life in America than any living writer I can think of."
-Dwight Garner, The New York Times

"Throughout his long career, King has been committed to the bedrock notion that stories matter, that they help us understand both ourselves and the world we inhabit. The Institute, filled as it is with anger, sorrow, empathy and, yes, hope, reiterates that commitment with undiminished power. It is a first-rate entertainment that has something important to say. We all need to listen."
-William Sheehan, The Washington Post

"As consummately honed and enthralling as the very best of [King's] work...How do you maintain your dignity and humanity in an environment designed to strip you of both? That theme, such an urgent one in literature from the 20th century onward, falls well within King's usual purview...Of all the cosmic menaces that King's heroes have battled, [the] slow creep into inhumanity may be the most terrifying yet, because it is all too real."
-Laura Miller, The New York Times Book Review

"The Institute is another winner: creepy and touching and horrifyingly believable, all at once."
-The Boston Globe

"This is King at his best."
-The St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Gripping... This is a thriller - and a good one, at that. There's little in the way of King's usual emphasis on the occult beyond the topic of psychic powers, which, according to surveys, as many as 40% of Americans believe are real. But there's no shortage of monsters, that's for sure. They just come in the coldblooded, end-justifies-the-means, laws-don't-apply-to-us human variety. We have no trouble believing that those types of people are real. And they are plenty scary."
-The Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Fans will draw parallels between Luke's tight band of friends and the kids at the center of It, in which the Losers Club faces off against a murderous clown, but this is an entirely original story that can only come from the mind of a master teller like King."
-The Florida Times Union

"King wows with the most gut-wrenching tale of kids triumphing over evil since It....Tapping into the minds of the young characters, King creates a sense of menace and intimacy that will have readers spellbound...Not a word is wasted in this meticulously crafted novel, which once again proves why King is the king of horror."
-Publishers Weekly, STARRED review

"You don't need to be a horror fan to read The Institute - or to have The Institute take over your life, since this is generally what happens with King's novels...His storytelling transcends genre."
-Marion Winnick, Newsday

"Shocking suspense and hallmark thrills...The Institute offers a thrilling reading experience and rousing tribute to the resilience of children and the unending fight against evil."
-G. Robert Frazier, BookPage…mehr
